Conyers is giving up his leadership position as top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee but the 88-year-old lawmaker indicated he would not resign from Congress and would fight allegations last week that he sexually harassed female staff members.

Moore has maintained his innocence and refused to quit the race.

The House will vote this week on a resolution requiring all lawmakers and staff to complete anti-harassment training. Sen. Franken said he is fully cooperating with an ethics investigation into claims against him.
